On the other hand, I know Yamaha and a couple others make competing
models, I would trust a Yamaha brand if the price was better and the DB
rating was the same or close... Just sayin'.

I don't know if this is relevant to generators but my 2006 Yamaha T8
trolling motor is much better behaved than it's 2000 Honda 15
predecessor. It starts better in all weather, idles nicer, runs
smoother, doesn't load up plugs, didn't require breaking a factory seal
to adjust the mixture to improve the above issues, etc. Perhaps my
Honda was an anomaly and/or they've improved since then but that's my
sample of two. pardon boating related content


As much as I hope nobody on my team hears me say this... From my point
of view, Yamaha race engines are more durable than Honda, Kawasaki, KTM
and even our beloved Suzuki, IN MY OPINION in the last few years. Some
other manufacturers such as Gas Gas, a Spanish motorcycle, are now using
Yamaha engines...
